Naruto in New York
Post time skip just after Asuma dying (A/N this is my first story and please r&r)
Chapter one: the mission.
Naruto was walking towards the hokages office wondering what the special mission was. All that granny told him was that it would take a long time and take him far away. He wondered what he was going to get himself into. He opened the door to the hokages office to find that several other ninjas were there as well. He saw Hyuuga Hinata the heir to her clan. Two more kunoichi were there as well. First off were the bubblegum haired medical ninja Haruno Sakura and the weapons master Tenten. As well as the female ninjas he saw the green beast known as Rock Lee and the lazy genius Shikamaru who was leaning against a wall lazily as always.
"Hey what are you all doing here?" Naruto asked
"O he-he-hello Naruto kun" said the timid Hyuuga pointing her index fingers together like she did every time she was around Naruto.
"Tsunade-sama called for us" answered the weapons master Tenten.
"Yes!! She called the youthful for a special mission concerning us fountains of youth!" that of course was the exuberant Rock Lee, the villages prime taijutsu master
"I bet its going to be a drag.." lazily mumbled Shikamaru.
"Alright a mission with Sakura!!!!" shouted the orange clad Naruto.
At that point a fist came down on Narutos head.
"Don't be so loud baka!" this came from the powerhouse known as Tsunades disciple, Sakura." Anyway its supposed to be a mission regarding one of hokage samas friends"
"She's right you should calm" a voice yelled from the door. It was the 5th hokage, the medical specialist Tsunade.
"So why are we all here Granny??? What kinda mission you gonna have us do??" called naruto from the floor where he was nursing the bump he just received.
"If you would shut up id tell you" spat the hokage becoming thoroughly annoyed with the blonde ninja." This is a special recon mission that I would like you all to participate in…."
"Recon mission??? Sakura-chan said it was about one of your friends!!" interrupted naruto.
"Shut up Naruto before I send you back to the academy!!" said Tsunade. This instantly quieted the ninja "this mission does regard a few friends of mine but this isn't the point. Word is that akatsuki has begun making moves in another part of the world since the incident with Asuma." This piece of information piqued Shikamarus interest since the late asuma was his sensei." this mission will take you far off to gather information about their actions"
"ooo a s rank mission in a far off land?!?!?! Do not fear Hokage-sama the fountains of youth before you shall not let you down!!" exclaimed the spandex clad Lee as he hit the nice guy pose and a sunset appeared behind him out of the blue. Everyone in the room sweatdropped, including the Hokage.
"umm thank you for reassuring me of that Lee….but as I was saying the mission is in a far off land called America. More precisely in the city known as New York" Finished off Tsunade.
"New York??" asked tenten "I never heard of it before"
"Well yes no one here really has except for myself and the person accompanying you" responded tsunade " as a matter of fact that person should be arriving shortly"
As if on cue the door opened to reveal the one and only perverted sage Jiriaya. All the females cringed at learning that he will be with them on this mission. They have all heard stories of the Ero-sennin from naruto and sakura.
"ero sennin!!!!" exclaimed both sakura and naruto in unison.
"hhmmm??? Naruto I told you to stop calling me that!!!!" yelled the pervert in question.
"Calm down everyone!" commanded the Hokage." Jiraiya is the only person with contacts in that city."
"prolly someone perverted like him" mumbled Naruto
"Shut up will you Naruto" came from shikamaru
" what are some of the arrangements made??" asked Lee
"Well" began the perverted sannin" we will talk about that later with the ones participating. If you don't want to go you don't have to. This is a dangerous mission in a far off land where none of you have seen before. This mission will take six months to finish if all goes according to plan, so if you don't want to go it's understood"
"Right, this is an S class mission since since it concerns akatsuki right Tsunade-sama?" asked Tenten
"Yes Tenten, so if you feel you are not up to it you can back out now. Just know that this team was built because you all bring something unique to the team" said the hokage to everyone in the room." naruto, sakura, and shikamaru! You are the only three in the village who have defeated akatsuki members. Rock Lee you have strength matched only by Sakura when she uses the techniques I taught her besides the medical jutsus which are another reasons she will be going. We can not afford having you in the medical systems or any systems of that country. You are to leave no traces behind. Hinata your byakugan will come in helpful since the city is crowded and your eyes are perfect for surveillance. Tenten! Your skills with weapons and traps are rivaled by no one elses in the village. And Jiraiya is the one with contacts in that city. If you would Jiriaya please tell them about the mission"
"Well first off I must know if everyone here is up for the mission?? The contacts are top secret and only people going on this mission are allowed to know of them. So are you all in??" said Jiriaya.
"Of course ero-sennin!!" exclaimed the hyper active naruto" anything to kick akatsuki's ass!! Believe it!!!!"
'Six months with naruto-kun' thought hinata' I have to take this chance to be with him!' "i-im in t-to"squeaked out Hinata.
"alright Hinata I knew you would be up for it too!!" exclaimed Naruto as he hugged her causing her to blush and think' oh naruto-kun is hugging me! Hestouchingmehestouchingmehestouchingme!!!!!!!!!' it took all of Hinatas strength not to pass out.
'A chance to take out even more of those akatsuki bastards huh??' thought Shikamaru. He knew that Asuma would want his genius student to take on the mission" I'll do it" he mumbled as Tsunade nodded in approval.
"Hai im in too Tsunade sama. I wont let you down" nodded Sakura.
"Same here Hokage-sama" said Tenten flashing a peace sign
Striking the nice guy pose Lee said" you can count on me! The honorable green beast to make sure that the fountain of youth prevails on this mission!! I will make Gai-sensei proud!!!"sweatdrops formed throughout the room.
"Very well then" said Jiriaya. "The contact is an old friend of mine who moved to New York fifteen years ago. He goes by the name of Nikai. I have kept in contact with him throughout the years and that is how I learned of akatsuki movement in that city. We will lodge with him and his students who were born in that city. They live in a part of the city called Queens. They will provide us with shelter and help us blend in so as not to attract attention. I warn you all now. This city is very much different from ours. They even speak a whole different language. But don't worry, Nikai has developed a jutsu which will allow you to understand and speak English fluently. His students will also help you in blending in and will also train with you. Nikai has taught them our ways and they are around your age. Nikai has also informed me that they have developed their own styles and are formidable fighters to say the least. While in the city we will search for more information on what akatsuki is doing there. This city has a lot of resources and since almost no one in that city knows any type of jutsu besides a few talented taijutsu fighters, the city would fall easily and that would cause mayhem on a worldwide level. So we leave in two days from the north gate. Use this time to gather your things and do what you need to do before we leave."
"You heard him" said Tsunade"dismissed!"
"Hai!!" responded the team in unison and they left to prepare.
"Think they can handle it?" asked asked Tsunade.
"What do you mean?" responded Jiriaya" you built the team you know what they can do."
"I trust their abilities but I am asking you if they can handle the culture shock. I have heard stories about that city" said the hokage smirking.
"Well if not this will be funny" responded the toad sage
